Whatever your idea of the typical blues and roots performer might be, throw it out the window because Tracey Barnett is not it.

The Western Australian singer-songwriter has been wowing audiences with her distinctive, high-energy brand of blues and roots, earning her a reputation for exhilarating solo shows that leave audiences wanting more.

Armed with her trusty acoustic guitar and harmonica, Barnett doesn’t have a backing band. Nor does she need one, having skilfully paved her own path with a heady mix of sounds combining to achieve a cohesive style all her own.
